IMPROVEMEN\T lN OILERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 164,589, dated June 15, 1875 application filed May 4, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RUSSELL B. PERKINS, of West Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Oiler; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in

Figure 1, a side view, Fig. 2, a vertical section; Fig. 3, the ballast detached 5 Fig. 4, the disk or bottom.

This invention relates to an improvement in that class of oilers which are used for ejecting oil for various purposes, the object being to construct an oiler so that when it rests it may always maintain its vertical position, and yet have the elastic or spring bottom to facilitate the ejection and it consists in a perforated ballast or weight combined with a concavoconvex bottom, both united and introduced within the spherical fount and secured, all as more fully hereinafter described.

A is the fount, made of substantially the usual form for weighted fountsthat is, larger diameter toward the top than at the bottomand provided with the ejector-tube B, also in the usual manner. As usually made, the metal which forms the fount is continued around for the bottom in the same piece, and filled at the bottom to give the necessary weight to maintain the perpendicularity of the oiler. In that cave side of the disk next the weight, so as to leave a space, d, between the disk and the weight; hence, holding the oiler in the hand in the usual manner, and pressing upon the outside of the disk D, it will be forced against the weight C, and in consequence of the perforations through the weight, such compression will cause the ejection of the oil in like manner as the common elastic-bottom oilcrs.

By this construction there is combined in this one oiler all the advantages of the spherical-shaped and the elastic-bottom oilers.

I do not, broadly, claim combining a counter-balance with the elastic bottom of a spherical oiler.

1 claim The combination of the perforated weight C and the concavoconvex elastic disk D within, and so as to form the bottom of, an oilerfount, A, substantially as described.
